The TPM Rollout

TPM involves all employees at all levels. That kind of engagement requires a reliable path forward—a framework we call the TPM Rollout —to ensure your greatest return on investment as quickly as possible.

Pull and Readiness

The Productivity approach relies on creating pull rather than pushing change. As the first step, we work with key leaders to assess readiness and support for TPM. We’ll share business improvement perspectives and strive for understanding of purpose, function, and form.

Management Awareness

In training sessions at your facility, we help site-leadership, managers, and supervisors understand TPM, their role in the transformation effort, and how TPM will enable them and the organization to meet performance goals. It’s here we’ll charter the TPM Roll-Out Team.

Value Stream Analysis

In collaboration with the TPM Roll-Out Team and process owners, we will analyze existing value streams, assess the current state of key equipment operating conditions and plant-wide maintenance practices, and determine the potential impact of improving the six equipment-related losses.

Site Plan Design

Working with site leaders, we’ll develop an integrated site-specific TPM implementation plan that draws on the learning from Pull and Readiness, and Value Stream Analysis.

Operator Training

Through a series of onsite interactive workshops, we teach operators and support personnel about TPM, their role in the program, and the “new normal” for equipment conditions, performance, maintenance, process ownership and routine equipment care.

Audit Progress and Countermeasures

We’ll establish an iterative process for reviewing the effectiveness of your site plan execution and create countermeasures to close any gaps.

Sustainment

Working with site leaders, we’ll establish standard work routines and Gemba walk practices that allow you to continually experiment with “leaders as teachers”, gauge site plan execution progress, and collaboratively develop and employ countermeasures. Productivity will continue to assess site plan execution progress quarterly and provide insight to help you sustain the efforts and the “new normal” organizational culture.
